Renewed June To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PER AnoLF PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Pencil Attachments, of which the following is a specification. i l

his invention relates to improvements in .pencil'attachm ents and particularly to those which are adapted tohold the pencil when not in use, in engagement with a garment, the holder being combined with a sharpening means, and its objects are the fulfilment of such purposes and functions.

The invention comprises certain novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts, hereinafter fully described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a perspective view of the device drawn to an enlarged scale. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing its applicais a front view. showment'with the pocket 4 is a transverse section of the holder, taken on line 4- 1 of Fig. 2. The device consists of a resilient, split ferrule .10 adapted to embrace the body or shank of a common lead pencil, the adjacent edges along the slit being curved slightly outward.

The material of the ferrule is formed so as to give the appearance of bands 11 in-' closing panels 12, the construction being materially stiffened thereby and an ornamental,

pposite J the top appearance attained; on theside the opening, extending upward fro edge and curved outwardly is a tab 13 affording a convenient grip; below the tab the surface leis raised to conform to that of the bands along the entire length of the ferrule; on the exterior of this surface is attached the guard plate 15, while-at the interior is a similar guard plate 18, both be-' ing secured by rivets 19 passing through the three pieces.
